How To Open New Window In Javascript

by

Opening a new window in JavaScript is a common task for web developers. This can be done to show additional content, create pop-up ads, or just to display the content of another website. In this blog post, we will discuss how to open a new window in JavaScript step-by-step.

Creating a New Window

To open a new window in JavaScript, you can use the window.open() method. This method takes three arguments:

  • URL: The URL of the web page to be opened in the new window.
  • Window name: A name for the window, which can be used to reference it later.
  • Features: A string containing a comma-separated list of features for the new window, such as its width, height, and whether or not it should have scrollbars.

Here is an example of how to use the window.open() method to open a new window:

    window.open('https://example.com', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');

In this example, we are opening a new window with the URL “https://example.com”. The _blank value for the window name means the new window will have no name, and the features specify that the window should have a width of 600 pixels and a height of 400 pixels.

Using a Button to Open a New Window

Now let’s see how we can create a button that opens a new window when clicked. First, create an HTML button element:

    <button id="openWindowBtn">Open New Window</button>

Next, we need to add an event listener to the button element that will trigger the window.open() method when the button is clicked:

    document.getElementById('openWindowBtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
        window.open('https://example.com', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');
    });

With this code, clicking the “Open New Window” button will open a new window with the specified URL and features.
